Hey Guys I need some help and advice on this problem.
I got a 94 Limited Exploder, I am replacing the fuel pump. The sending unit rusted out and leaks all over the damn place.
Well I got it all unhooked and the tank is out, well guess what the rusted sending lines broke off when I disconneted them from the sending unit.
I took the gator clips ( or whatever they are called) out , sprayed PB blaster and clean all the gunk out of the fitting. Hook a needle nose pliers on what was left of the sending unit lines and the damn things still don't come out. I don't have much to grab onto and pretty soon I won't be able to grab on them at all.
Any ideas what to do now???
Can the stainless steel lines be cut and have new fittings crimped on? I know they are pressurized lines but damn if I can get those old rusty lines out.
I am pretty sure if I got to get different fuel lines that will be next to impossible.....I found a fuel tank at the salvage yard because the metal ring on mine is not usable any more on my old tank....damn this truck is rusty.........good old Wisconsin rust
Thanks for any help I can get.
